We had a wonderful week at Sarah’s place at Mauna Kai. The big lanai was lovely in the mornings and evenings for coffee and light snacks. Sarah provided tons of beach equipment and the property was close to a grocery store and kids park for our almost 2 year old toddler.

Positives: Beautiful updated space with a lovely lanai. Very clean. Well-equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Fantastic lighting. Spacious. Great shower in master bath. Good amenities. Strong wi-fi (if you have to work). Easy trash and recycling disposal. Great beach equipment. Plenty of towels. Good toiletries. It's just a really good space. Easy access to everything on the north shore.
Things to know (beyond owner's control): It can be noisy from both the street and other occupants. Harder to remain cool during day (so go to the beach or head out for a hike). Parking tough if you get in late, but not impossible by any means (would be better if people stopped taking two spots).
Areas for improvement: Again, this rental is near perfect, and I hope to stay here in the future. These are just a couple of things that would have made the stay actually perfect. A small stash of coffee to get started would have been nice. The towels may need a refresh soon because the damp air made them a little musty (they were definitely clean). A couple of power strips would be nice for charging, etc. Wiping down the tables on the patio in advance of arrival.
All in all, this was a wonderful stay and I very highly recommend this rental.

The property is very conveniently located with lots of great snorkeling and hiking nearby. The property contained everything we needed to cook meals, It was very clean, comfortable and ready for our arrival. There is a large veranda with comfortable seating. The pool is large and well maintained. The landscaping is lovely. I would stay there again on a future visit.

The accommodations were excellent, the grounds exceptionally beautiful and we enjoyed the pool, but we have one major concern. We were not informed about the steps inside the property, three going down into the living room; two entering the master bedroom and a deeper step into the master bathroom. Three of us are people in our late 70s and I am 80. Upon entering the house, two of us tripped on these stairs but luckily did not fall; and my 82-year/old brother who came for dinner one evening also tripped going into the living room but didn’t fall. We are people who exercise and try to stay in shape. Luckily we didn’t fall and get injured although others might. These inner steps should be colored differently from the rest of the floor so they stand out and brought to the guests’ attention in the website information re. the property. n addition, the master shower floor is quite slippery when wet with no hand rails to grasp. I had to be very careful not to slip in the shower.
The stay was most pleasant otherwise but as one of our friends said, the inside steps are a “law suit just waiting to happen”.

This condo is perfectly located in a beautifully landscaped setting. It is walking distance to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the Saturday morning Farmer's Market just a short walk away. I was there to honor my husband's request to scatter his ashes off of our favorite beach, and the setting of this condo was restorative for my spirit. The condo is beautifully decorated, clean, and well stocked for any cooking you may want to do. The second floor location allows for great breezes and a large lanai.

This condo has lots of room, is well equipped and a great base for exploring the north of Kauai. It has a friendly neighborhood feel.

My wife, my brother, my sister-in-law and I had a very relaxing stay in Mauna Kai. Sarah reached out to me several days before we arrived and was very thorough and responsive. The property itself is very well maintained. We will definitely look to stay here again the next time we visit Princeville!

Bring a flashlight. We had trouble finding the condo because the walkways were not lit.
Condo was well furnished, comfortable, and clean (except for ceiling fans). We received almost an immediate response from Sarah every time we made contact. A couple of Interior steps to master bedroom and master bath. Both bathrooms were roomy and we had plenty of hot water and great water pressure. The lanai was fabulous and extremely spacious. Plenty of towels. Overall a great stay!

Beautiful condo in a very convenient location to all the north shore has to offer. Owner was very easy and great to communicate with. Landscaping on property was impeccable. Very nice and large pool for kids. Apartment itself was huge with plenty of room for downtime. Overall cleanliness was good. As all apartments need from time to time, a deep cleaning of cabinets, bathroom and floors was needed. Proximity to view in neighboring condo was slightly awkward at times. All in all we had an amazing time and was very satisfied with our stay. We’d definitely love to come again. Thanks Sarah for being so responsive.

Stayed 7 nights at Mauna Kai in January. Overall great experience! The space was lovely w a nice patio and surrounding foliage. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Great location for a jumping off point for all North shore activities, w grocery store very nearby. The unit was clean and well stocked w all needed kitchen items, beach items (bags, boogey boards, chairs, towels, toys, etc.). Had a pack and play for our 3 year old daughter which was a bonus. AC in front bedroom but not in primary bedroom. Not a problem except a little warm requiring sleeping w windows open and downstairs neighbor have a daily phone call on his patio at 5 am waking us up. Units were pretty close together which didn’t allow for a ton of privacy w all the otherwise wonderful windows. So just a couple minor dings, but overall would recommend and would likely stay here again.

We loved staying in this unit! He location was perfect for us. We felt that our condo was very well equipped with everything from a blender to a coffee grinder and so much more. The views were amazing and the pool was large, clean and heated. We could easily walk to Foodland for groceries. We truly felt right at home!

Our family had a very pleasant 5-day stay in Princeville at Mauna Kai. The unit was spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable. Everything was functional - fans, lights, TV, kitchen appliances, washer.- with the minor exception that we had some troubles with the dryer. The unit has beach chairs in the outside closet and a couple of functional snorkel sets (the beach umbrella was not working).
We had a very pleasant stay.

This condo was the perfect vacation rental! We enjoyed relaxing on the lawn chairs on the lanai listening to the many birds (and funny roosters), watching the rainstorms, and enjoying the view of the many visible stars at night. We were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the unit was, especially with kitchen supplies as we prepared the majority of our food in the unit. I cannot say enough positives! Beds were comfortable, rooms were spacious, the living space was comfortable, plenty of beach supplies such as floaties, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and many cooler bags. The unit also had lots of great books to read. On the property there is a pool that is much bigger than the photo makes it appear! It’s a great spot! The nearby barbecue area was also comfortable, clean, and stocked with ping pong and cornhole! The unit was walking distance to a shopping/dining center which we enjoyed walking to for morning coffee! Down the road a few minutes further we also found Queens bath! Overall the unit was great and the location was perfect for us! This was by far the best rental experience I have had!
We had one minor hiccup on arrival in which we found ourselves at the wrong property, as there are several other condo properties nearby, and Sarah was so quick to call to help us find our way to the correct place! She was so kind and helpful! Check out was seamless as well. We would love to come back next time and would highly recommend this unit!

This property is spacious, clean and very comfortable with lots of unexpected amenities like beach chairs, boogie boards, re-usable containers and more! We also loved the artwork throughout the home. It is in a great location to venture off and explore the Island either by foot or car. We had a wonderful combination of activities and relaxation and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you for sharing your lovely home, Sarah!

This property is in a great location, perfect for outings to all the nearby beaches and snorkeling spots. Getting into the condo was super easy, communication with the host was fast and responsive, parking was not a problem and overall, the place provided us with a great location for our daily excursions. The condo was really well equipped with soft sided cooler bags (took a little searching to find them), beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. There are guide books located on the shelf below the tv and there is even a set of golf clubs and tennis rackets in the outside closet, along with two bikes. We didn’t use any of the sporting equipment, but it all looked to be serviceable. We also never went to the pool, so can’t say how that was, but from the sound of kids having fun, I would say it was probably great! The condo is in a bustling community and you can easily hear all of your neighbors, but it is a friendly and easy-going vibe. I would recommend this unit for it’s easy and convenient location and super great host.
